"Honey, I know they do! You probably look wonderful in both of them, but I just can't afford it right now. Not until I get into another picture, or something."

"Oh, but how are you going to do that?"

"I've got it all planned out. I'm going to put on a new show at the club, and it's going to be really great. Some producers from Hollywood are going to be in town, so I should get it together soon. There's going to be auditions first thing tomorrow morning,

and-" Ricky stopped, in turn, realizing his mistake.

"A new show?!" cried Lucy with glee.

"Now, now, honey..."

"A brand new show! When can I audition?"

"Lucy, I know I've told you at least a thousand times-"

"I dunt want my wife in show business," finished Lucy.

"Never mind my accent. I just don't want you to be in show business. All I really want you to do is keep the house clean, cook, and be the mother for my children."

"Well, haven't I been doing that since we've been married?" asked Lucy, disappointed.

"Of course you have," answered Ricky, putting his arm around Lucy. "You've been doing a wonderful job of it, and I love you. However, you just don't stop trying to get into show business, that's all."

"I thought you'd be used to it by now. Come on, Ricky, please, please, please?" she begged.

"Lucy-"

"Please!! Can I, Ricky? Aw, please? It's not fair!"

"Lucy-"

"Come on!! Please, honey? I like your shirt! Please!!"

"Lucy-"

"Ricky, I really- what?"

"I think I could give you a really small part if you want it that much."

"Really?!"

"Sure."

"Ack! Ricky, you're so wonderful!" she cried, squeezing Ricky.

"It's only a small part, you know," he managed to say.

"I know, but I actually have a part!" she said, happy. "I have a part!" she said in realization, and nearly fell over.

"Lucy!" said Ricky, as he grabbed her in time.

"Oh, sorry," she said, embarrassed.

"Are you alright?"

"Sure I am. I'll be just fine."

"Okay, then it's settled. Tomorrow, I'll get you the script for your part, alright?"

"That's great!"

"Good, but for now, I'm hungry."

"Hey, Ricky? Do you have a minute?"

"Sure, what?"

"Come here," said Lucy, smiling, as they both kissed.
